To use the card, place it above your door in order to benefit from the two main mantras it features. The mantra “OM HANU PAHASHA BHARA HE YE SVAHA,” when seen, purifies 100,000 eons of negative karma and obscurations. The Wish-Granting Wheel mantra, “OM PADMO USHNISHA VIMALE HUM PHAT,” when passed under, purifies 1,000 eons of negative karma and obscurations.

Rinpoche teaches that beings only receive the benefit of these door blessing mantras if they walk directly underneath them. With this in mind, Rinpoche recommends that students acquire a sufficient number of mantra cards to take up the width of the door frame.

If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.
